Hello again! I'm back with more questions about using Fossil behind CGI with `REMOTE_USER`. When trying to do certain interactions such as creating tickets, creating forum posts, etc, I'm getting …
On https://fossil-scm.org/home/help/timeline in section "Options:" for -F it appears that %%<br> %H are missing <tt>...</tt> tags. Yours Sincerely, Anonymous Markup Proofreader
Hello, I have just noticed that whenever I close a ticket, ticket id (not the ticket hash) changes. I am not sure if it is the expected normal behavior but in my mind, a field name with "id" in it…
I found some fixes that appear to give between 20% and 70% speedups for each of `fossil rebuild`, `fossil test-integrity` and `fossil export`, depending on command, workload and system size. If you'd…
Hello all, I know this is a tiny detail, but I found the diagram near the bottom of the [How CGI Works In Fossil](https://fossil-scm.org/home/doc/tip/www/aboutcgi.wiki) page slightly confusing. …
It seems the markdown interpreter is ignoring whitespaces between link text and link label or destination. This means you can't have another link or anything in a parenthesis following a [shortcut re…
Good morning, all, [The markdown-tagrefs branch](src:/timeline?r=markdown-tagrefs) has been sitting around idle for about 2 years and it's now time to decide whether this is something worth mergin…
I think the "Show newest first" option on the ticket view page was introduced in response to a question from me, but I cannot find that discussion now. In any case, it has finally been deployed on th…
This was found in an Claude Fable LLM session, but verified as a bug/security problem. I patched my version, but the error is in the fossil code. On Unix, `fossil server repo.efossil` on a USE_SEE…
I run fossil in CGI mode serving a directory and have a version of this running on my LAN server as well as another on a remote VPS. It would be nice if there was a way to disable robot checking via …
The "--branch NAME" option on the [fossil diff command](/help/diff) strives to show all the differences associated with that branch. But I think it is not doing that quite right. Consider [bran…
Hello all, I'm working on a little project that hosts and manages a multitude of Fossil repos behind a webserver that handles authentication and authorization among providing other services using …
I am a new user who just signed up for an account. I was able to login from the email sent to me, but I am unable to login from a new tab. Apparently it does not recognize the password saved in my go…
In this example if we set the angle of the "heading" property between [82,98] or [262,278] then line are not correctly "chopped" and go inside the ellipse in the center. The bug also depends of the…
Hi all :) I added a commit that was aborted due to my computer losing power (I just did "fossil commit" again after reboot and it was as if the commit was never done, just like it should be), this…
I have a subversion repository that I am working on importing into Fossil. The original repository is simple, there are no branches, just a single line of development with a single user commiting in …
In Fossil version 2.28, when using the server command and opening it in a Chromium-based browser on the windows, the randomly generated 8-digit hexadecimal password is displayed as garbled text. It h…
I was experimenting with combinatorial branching in Fossil (ie, having x branches forking into x other branches and merging into eachother), using a script to mass generate these repository events. …
Greetings, I just created a new account on Chisel and tried to create a repository there. I tried a few different options for the 'Repository name' and 'Password' (including no password), creating…
A long-awaited moment has been reached in (lib)fossil's history: thanks to the herculean efforts of (in order of first name) Dan Shearer and Dan Mestas, the library is, [as of a few moments ago](http…
*The following message was received in private email to DRH and is reposted here:* I wanted to ask something in the forum, but was impossible. I see that there are now tabs like in the wiki. I …
Small CSS-only feature that helps when scrolling through a long diff, and one forgets which file is looked at. - Both bright/dark mode CSS added. - Slight transparency in filename background, to kn…
Hello forum, I stumbled upon a quirky behavior involving adding propagating tags to existing check-ins: I have renamed a feature branch, and the new branch name appeared as an additional tag in…
I tried modifying the admin/settings/ticket to add a field to track what release the problem with fixed in, but I gave up after an hour because I couldn't find all the places changes needed to be mad…
There are often times when I need to get the SHA of a version from the UI timeline (merge, diff, ...) but it's very difficult copy it. The problem is that it's a link and if you get anywhere near it …
